01 AUGUST 2017 - UBUD, BALI, INDONESIA: A man carries his bebean (fish shaped) kite off the public school soccer field in Ubud. Kite flying is a popular past time on Bali. It originally had religious connotations, it was used to ask the gods for bountiful rains and harvests. The kites are large. Small ones, flown by individuals are about two meters long, larger ones flown by teams of up to 80 people are ten meters long. There are three shapes of traditional kites, bebean (fish-shaped), janggan (bird-shaped) and pecukan (leaf-shaped). The pecukan is the most unstable and difficult to fly.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
